Year: 2017

It’s time to nominate your favorite AYSO volunteers for our ‘of the Year’ awards! Help us say thank you to our brilliant and dedicated volunteers who make soccer at AYSO Region 354 possible. We’ll be giving awards in the following categories:

Recreation Coach of the Year

Team Parent of the Year

Adult Referee of the Year

Youth Referee of the Year

Give us three reasons why the person you are nominating is truly exceptional, and we will place them in the running for our awards given out at the end of the season. Thank you all for your help, and we’ll see you on Saturday.

Every year, AYSO Region 354 holds tryouts for “select” or “all-star” teams that play in summer tournaments between regular seasons. This year, tryouts for those teams will be held on Saturday, April 29th after our regular scheduled games at 1:30pm.

The age divisions are U10, U12, U14/15 coed, and U19 coed.

This year, Sandy AYSO, Region 354 is holding our VERY OWN soccer tournament at Union Middle School at the end of July. For more information, visit our official tournament website at www.sandyfreedomcup.com.

AYSO United Club Team tryouts have also been scheduled! They will occur the last two weeks in May. You can get more information (and register for tryouts) at our AYSO United website at www.aysounitedsoccer.com.

The upcoming tournament and other exciting activities we have in the works require us to take branding of our region a little more seriously than we have in the past—and like everything else in the region, we need your help! Submit your ideas for the logos for both our region and for our upcoming tournament, and you could win a gift card and the shirt with your brilliant logo on it, but best of all, you’ll be known forever as that genius who created Region 354’s outstanding logo.

What we are looking for is symbolism that is uniquely Sandy and Draper that doesn’t look exactly like our neighbors in Region 126. Remember it is the idea that is being judged, not the artwork—so let those creative juices flow. You can email your ideas to logo@sandysoccerskills.com or bring them to the referee tent any Saturday between March 25th and April 15th.

Please join us for a parent/coaches night on Friday the 10th at 6PM at Union Middle School in the cafeteria. If you are a team parent we NEED you to be there. We will be discussing volunteers, snack shack and coach requirements. Please bring all of your comments and suggestions on how we can improve our league, we would love to hear from you. FOOD will be served so come hungry. See you all there.

Spring registration is now open. Come join our league for a great season. If you are already signed up tell your friends. I look forward to seeing everyone come March. The season will start mid March. You can register online at www.eayso.org – Remember to choose Region 354 – Sandy/Draper.
